Therese Mangham ended her 22 years of military service with a Purple Heart and a traumatic brain injury. She received both of them after being hit by a blast from an improvised explosive device in 2008.

She spent three weeks that year in Germany in the warrior transition unit hoping to work her way back to her unit, but the wounds proved to be too much.
